Bücher von Daniel Braum

Like a vinyl record from days gone by, author Daniel Braum spins a unique blend of speculative fiction that effortlessly blends fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mysticism. Braum's multi-dimensional characters are drawn into dark worlds and investigate the unexplainable at the edges of civilization. In The Night Marchers, the debut collection from Daniel Braum, readers will encounter: * A song that might herald the end of the world.* A young girl possessed by a hurricane.* A Native American Death Metal singer who might be the reincarnation of Crazy Horse.* A cat and mouse chase with demons through the jungles of Central America.* A has-been rock star haunted by the pet fish of his failed relationship.* An erotically charged night in the desert that might end with redemption, or entwined in the thorns of a cactus monster.* A beautiful alabaster Sphinx lumbering not towards Bethlehem but the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn... Appearing for the first time here is the title story "The Night Marchers," and "The Sphinx of Cropsey Avenue," alongside three classic stories from the pages of Cemetery Dance magazine and many more!"Daniel Braum is a true storyteller. By that I mean he spins tales of wonder that grasp at ideas and themes that human beings have been pondering since our brains become up to the task. These stories will also make you laugh, cringe, and damn near weep. This is such a big-hearted and wide ranging book and Daniel Braum is the real deal, a writer to treasure." -Victor LaValle, author of The Ballad of Black TomDaniel Braum's fiction has been classified as fantasy, science fiction, and horror but he prefers the good old fashioned term of just "fiction", which when he was growing up simply meant a story were anything could happen. His stories frequently defy category and reside in the fuzzy areas between genres, utilizing and combining genre elements to produce tales that are wholly unique.

Within these pages, the authors (ranging from the bestselling and award winning to exciting new comers in the beginning of their careers) have thrown off the crusty, dank, and old trapping to bring us stories from around the world that transcend what we might think of "the typical" mummy story. Only one of these tales is set in Egypt. These wrapped spirits are not back from the dead to find lost loves or enact revenge and neither are they merely shambling, slow moving, physical threats. Prepare to be frightened by what Braum has unwrapped!

Underworld Dreams is Daniel Braum''s third short story collection of genre transcending, strange stories full of tension between the supernatural and psychological. Within the pages Braum''s multi-dimensional characters face dark underworlds and strange experiences that illuminate the human condition and world (we think) we know, heart-breaking tale of loss and grief, as well as eerie tales that thrill.
